More Bodies Are Being Found In Nevada's Lake Mead ... Folks Suspect It's Related To The Mob's Previous Vegas Escapades
ยท May 11, 2022 ยท NottheBee.com

The Lake Mead reservoir outside Las Vegas is beginning to recede, and as it does, two bodies have now been discovered at the bottom the lake.

People are getting very suspicious that these watery graves might be tied to the mafia.

From CNN:

More human remains were found at Lake Mead over the weekend, less than a week after a body in a barrel was discovered at the reservoir.

National Park Service rangers responded to a call on Saturday afternoon that reported the remains in Callville Bay. The Clark County Medical Examiner is assisting with determining the cause of death, according to NPS, which said there is "no further information is available at this time."

It was the second set of human remains found at Lake Mead, the country's largest reservoir, as water levels plunge. The first body, discovered on May 1, was likely a murder victim who died from a gunshot wound "some time in the mid '70s to early โ€˜80s, based on clothing and footwear the victim was found with," according to a new release from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.

"The lake has drained dramatically over the last 15 years," Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Homicide Lieutenant Ray Spencer said at the time, noting "it's likely that we will find additional bodies that have been dumped in Lake Mead" as the water level drops more.

Las Vegas is such a charming city. You can dispose of a body in a lake and no one will find out about it for 4 or 5 decades.

Apparently, what happens in Vegas actually stays at the bottom of Lake Mead.

Lefties are blaming the mega-drought that is causing the reservoir to empty on climate change.

Maybe these two deaths were "victims of climate change" as well!

More of the Mob angle from the AP:

Las Vegas is being flooded with lore about organized crime after a second set of human remains emerged within a week from the depths of a drought-stricken Colorado River reservoir just a 30-minute drive from the notoriously mob-founded Strip.

"There's no telling what we'll find in Lake Mead," former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said Monday. "It's not a bad place to dump a body."

Goodman, as a lawyer, represented mob figures including the ill-fated Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro before serving three terms as a martini-toting mayor making public appearances with a showgirl on each arm.

He declined to name names about who might turn up in the vast reservoir formed by Hoover Dam between Nevada and Arizona.

"I'm relatively sure it was not Jimmy Hoffa," he laughed. But he added that a lot of his former clients seemed interested in "climate control" โ€” mob speak for keeping the lake level up and bodies down in their watery graves.

The former Mayor of Vegas (and Mob lawyer) is out here joking about Jimmy Hoffa and how the lake is "not a bad place to dump a body."

On Saturday, two sisters from suburban Henderson who were paddle boarding on the lake near a former marina resort noticed bones on a newly surfaced sand bar more than 9 miles (14.5 kilometers) from the barrels.

Lindsey Melvin, who took photos of their find, said they thought at first it was the skeleton of a bighorn sheep native to the region. A closer look revealed a human jaw with teeth. They called park rangers, and the National Park Service confirmed in a statement that the bones were human.

There was no immediate evidence of foul play, Las Vegas police said Monday, and they are not investigating. A homicide probe would be opened if the Clark County coroner determines the death was suspicious, the department said in a statement.

More bodies will be discovered, predicted Geoff Schumacher, vice president of The Mob Museum, a renovated historic downtown Las Vegas post office and federal building that opened in 2012 as The National Museum of Organized Crime & Law Enforcement.

"I think a lot of these individuals will likely have been drowning victims," Schumacher said, referring to boaters and swimmers who've never been found. "But a barrel has a signature of a mob hit. Stuffing a body in a barrel. Sometimes they would dump it in the water."

Oh yeah, a "drowning accident." That sounds like a likely story.

The Mob spent decades disposing of bodies in lake Mead and now that it's drying up, people are beginning to find all the discarded evidence.
